  Some of the comments for this are interesting. A few people said that bandcamp was making the wrong decisions and that they were becoming more like the big labels.

  I think what many people don't realize is that to run a service like this (without losing money or collapsing because you can't pay for bandwidth/servers), you need to charge for it.
